weekend links 6.21.13

I need to start this off with an apology. Sports have been taking over my life. With the Stanley Cup and the NBA finals I’ve been really glued to the tv and have been neglecting my poor blog, and you all! So I’m so sorry for my actions, please please forgive me.Second order of business, I’m really sad to announce, that I will no longer have small type on the blog. I love it so much, but as it turns out, you all hate it. I will not ever understand it, as small type is my favorite thing ever. But alas, I will give you readers what you want, even if I disagree. Lucky b’s.This morning I woke up to a Chase alert that $180 had been charged to my debit at jcrew. First I thought perhaps I was ordering clothes in my sleep (since i’m still on the spending freeze) but then quickly realized that probably was not the case. i then called chase and filed a claim, then went to chase and picked up a new debit card. my morning was cray to say the least. then once i work i realize that in fact it was my charge, on a bridesmaid dress I’d ordered months ago that had just shipped. they told me it was on backorder til july 1st so i never made the connection. and the charge was showing up as Lynchburg,VA (yes I know now that’s where the distribution center is) but I ordered it in Chicago! How was I to know? Whoops? I called and reversed the claim but let’s just leave it at, I’m an idiot. sorry it was 7am, way too early for rational thinking like checking my jcrew account…That being said. here are some weekend links.
